Why
SMH
Link is dead?
Great one less Nazi organization to have to deal with.
Regulatory scrutiny in the US of A.
Another Bitcoin company pulling out of the USA isn't good. Land of the free, except finances.

Just thought it was interesting they don’t say why in either the note or that short article
But in canada I am ok? Interesting
Right? People joke about “chinada” or canada being some authoritarian commie place. Well they sure seem to be less intimidating to bitcoin companies 🤷♂️
I guess. for now. Wonder what happens if you're in the US but VPN into HodlHodl (and I do not expect an official comment to this from hodlhodl) 😉
It's the same shit everywhere. one reason why I don't understand why people think that the US gov or any othher gov has a mandate over Bitcoin. You either comply and live your fiat life or you don't. In wich case, there is no government, no KYC or AML to worry about.
United States of America, Cuba, North Korea, Iraq, Iran, Puerto Rico, Somalia, Syria, Sudan.
Sounds about right.
what I'm saying with this is, many of us are still way to concerned with national events. start thinking more global guys. We're all just plebs and we're all being scammed.
Canada is way more friendly to Bitcoin companies than USA.
probably because of what's happening to samourai right now
I'm not sure what really changed, it never worked in USA anyways
"We want to reiterate that the Hodl Hodl platform has never served customers in the USA."
It's not about VPN, if you wanted to use it to buy bitcoin with fiat it won't work if your bank account is attached to an address in the US.
USChina doesn't have the same ring to it
I've always assumed Bitcoin, snd crypto in general, would be shut down by the socialistic American government.
Gold, silver, commodity based cash is king when it comes to freedom.
Buy goldbacks. Goldback.com
The issue in the states is the lack of authority, 3 balances of power.
In Canada if the PM has a majority they can pretty much do as they please.
Those balances of power may have served a purpose in the past but now they are just theater.
Indeed the only good is when they get stuck
They are "surprisingly" unanimous on wars, Israel, and assaults on the Bill of Rights.
Yeah we are a three party system where the minority far left gets to help craft policy with the centre left party.
I can't stop it so I just try to be poor enough to survive while govt bank rolls me lol
Not we - we are not included in that government
Lend doesn't use bank accounts.
I haven't used it, but doesn't it depend on what you're borrowing?
You can only borrow stablecoins. Anyone can get those kyc free.
Canada is also a poor country lol. Toronto has a fucking rain tax 😆
No, there is no such tax. It's also in the top 20 richest countries (gdp per capital), so not sure what's going on in this statement.
5 second google search proved you wrong lol
Read the headline - it was a proposal that was halted. Lol
Explain how I have to pay 30% income tax for being paid $20 a hour and then 13% HST and GST sales tax (which suppose to be temporary) then there is hidden carbon tax on everything that has to consume gas (basically everything including food, shelter, basic needs) and yet I have to wait 4 hours in the hall way in the emergency section of the hospital because there is no rooms lol. Also have you seen the Toronto food banks 😂. How can you look at a line that goes down several blocks (I've seen first hand in person) and say Canada is a wealthy country?
News is banned on social media in Canada 😆. I didn't get the memo. It will be back lol.
I can say it's wealthy because my family is from an actual poor country.
Come to Trinidad if you want to see what it's like.
The presence of taxes doesn't mean your country is poor. Many countries pay higher taxes than that and don't get tax funded healthcare.
Trinidad has less debt then Canada. Therefore Trinidad is a wealthier nation in Canada 🇨🇦. Publicly funded Healthcare does not make it better Healthcare. There are a lot of Canadians (the ones that can afford it) go to Mexico and United States for operations. Doctors here get paid by the amount of patients they see in a day. You could have a missing arm and they probably just put a band aid on it and tell you to come back in 2 weeks for check up 😂. Canada is plenty in resources and land but it's pointless when you have diet communism in power.
Debt doesn't exist in a bubble, it's relative to income and assets when discussing who is more wealthy.
In Trinidad, only the rich can afford a microwave, the power grid doesn't work half the time and there are no food banks, people just actually starve or find food in landfills.
Canada no doubt has seen a drop in living standards, mostly driven by the housing bubble and too much income going towards housing. But it's still extremely rich by any objective measure.
Just travel to some poor countries and you might appreciate Canada a bit more, despite all her flaws.
Slave country. Didn't revolt when their own CiC invited them to. And this, the result.
Fiat to stablecoin and back KYC free?
USSA?
Trading platform was never available fou US citizens, but lending platform did, up until now.
Stay away!
They can easily ban your account if they decide for some “immediately effective action”
Find decentralized or at least self-custody solution!
How can I complete my contracts if I can’t log in?
